Moot is the nick name for the founder of 4chan.
And it's really weird. I assumed Moot was mega famous with tech folks.
But that is weird. I mean I don’t really think that my finger is on the pulse of the tech community but I’ve been on this site for the past 10 years.
(Nothing wrong with weirdness, though, up to a certain level of messed up)
Only a certain subsection of us. My husband used 4chan in high school and college and told me about it and that's how I learned about him. 4chan is definitely a good case study in how being popular and engaging won't lead to monetary gains if your platform is too toxic. 4chan is still quite popular but half of the site is infested with actual "Hitler did nothing wrong" types.
